Paroles de 10,000 days (pt. 2)

Listen to the tales and romanticizeHow we follow the path of the heroBoast about the day when the rivers overrunHow we rised to the height of our halo

Listen to the tales as we all rationalizeOur way into the arms of the saviorFading all the trials and the tribulationsNone of us have actually been thereNot like you

Ignorant flippants in the congregationGather around spewing sympathySpare meNone of them can even hold a candle up to youBlinded by choices hypocrites won't seek

But enough about the collective judas'Who could deny you were the one who illuminatedMy little piece of the divine

This little light of mineThe gift you passed onto meI'll let it shineTo guide you safely on your wayYour way home

What are they going to do when the lights go downWithout you guide them home to zionWhat are they going to do when the river is overrunOther than tremble incessantly

High is the way but our eyes are up on the groundYou were the light and the way, that they will only read aboutI only pray, heaven knows when to lift you outTen thousand days in the fire is long enoughYou're going home

You're the only one who can hold your head up highShake your fist at the gates saying:

I have come home nowFetch me the spiritThe son, and the fatherTell them their pillar of faith has ascendedIt's time now, my time nowGive me my, give me my, wings

Give me myGive me my wings

You are the light and the wayThat they will only read about

Set as i am in my ways and my arroganceBurning all through tossed upon non-believersYou were my witnessMy eyes, my evidenceJudith marie, unconditional one

Daylight dimsLeaving cold fluorescenceDifficult to see you in this lightPlease forgive this bold suggestionShould you see your maker's face tonightLook them in the eyeLook them in the eye, and tell themI never lived a lie, never took a lifeBut surely saved one, hallelujahIt's time for you to bring me home
